Air Force opened up with back and forth dual action beginning with a loss in the 174 class to the Wolverine's Ross Taylor. The Falcons would quickly strike back with two consecutive wins from Anthony McLaughlin (184) and No. 17 Parker Hines (197). Hines would be the only Falcon to earn bonus points coming from a 22-4 technical fall over Aryton Almberg.
The Wolverines would bounce back with consecutive wins in the 285 and 125 class, including No.18 Chasen Tolbert's 8-0 major decision over Drew Romero.
Josh Martinez would follow up with the 4-3 decision over Jade Rauser in the 133 class to regain the lead at 11-10. The Wolverines would regain the lead after Dylan Hyder dropped 4-3 decision in the 141 class.
Air Force would earn three consecutive decision wins coming from Jerry McGinty (149), Zach Stepan (157) and Alex Lopouchanski (165) to seal the deal over the Wolverines, 20-13.
Air Force would quickly return to action in the second dual of the night against New Mexico Highlands. The Falcons would take the early lead with a 2-1 decision coming from Zen Ikehara.
Highlands would react with a 6-5 decision win in the 184 class, knotting the score at 3-3 at the beginning of the third bout.
Air Force would quickly jump 12 points ahead after Hines' commanding 4:55 pin in the 197 class and a Highlands forfeit in the 285 class. Freshmen Issac Jimenez (125) and John Twomey (133) would earn nine more points to extend the lead to 24-3 after Jimenez's 5-1 decision win and Twomey's 4:04 pin.
Air Force would go on to earn decision wins in two of the final four bouts with wins coming from Alex Mossing (157) and Michael Billingsley (165) to finalize the score at 30-9.
Up next, Falcon wrestling will travel to Corvallis, Ore., over the weekend to take on the Beavers of Oregon State in dual meet action on Sunday, Feb. 14, at 5:00 p.m. PT.
